Concerning the Thursday night dances at the St. Joseph Hospitality House, their greatest desire is more American girls to dance with. At first the average was 25 girls to 100 men. The Italian Service Unit orchestra furnishes the music for about 100 Italians for dancing each Thursday night. At present there are about enough American girls to furnish partners for the men. - Chaplain Raphael Monteleone, Lt. 9 January 1945.
